NEW Summer 2024 Lawn Fawn Collection + NEW Card Idea by Elise Constable!
Hi friends! Happy Thursday and Happy Lawn Fawn Release Day! This Summer 2024 collection is sure to have a few gems included that will bring a smile to your face! Keep on scrolling to peruse the new bundles AND a brand new card tutorial featuring the new collection! A huge thanks to the AMAZING Lawn Fawn designers for this gorgeous inspiration! Enjoy!
And now, please welcome Elise Constable for a brand new card tutorial below!
Hi everyone! It’s Elise from the Lawn Fawn design team and I’m so excited to share a card with you all that features some fun, new products from Lawn Fawn!
For this card, I started by creating the background for the scene. I used Merman ink and the Cloudy stencil to ink-blend clouds onto a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock. I next trimmed the background panel and set it aside while I created the kites.
One of my favorite stamp sets from the new Lawn Fawn release is the Whoosh Kites set! It’s so cute and perfect for summer! I started by stamping the kites onto patterned paper from the new Pint Sized Patterns Summertime paper pack, and then die-cutting them with the coordinating dies.
To add some extra dimension and texture to the card, I used the new twine colors and tied a string onto each kite! I attached a piece of foam tape to the back of the kites and arranged them onto the background in rainbow order. In order to secure the twine to the card, I gently pulled the twine, folded it over the bottom edge of the background panel, and secured it with a piece of washi tape on the back. Once the strings were secured, I used double-sided tape to secure the background panel to a piece of patterned paper. I even placed the double-sided tape over the twine to make sure that the twine couldn’t move!
The sentiment I used is also from the Whoosh Kites stamp set. I heat-embossed with black embossing powder onto a piece of Ballet Slipper cardstock. Next, I used my die-cut machine to cut the sentiment out with the new Stitched Sentiment Banners, and attached it to the scene with double-sided tape. To finish the card, I attached everything to a white card base and added a few clear sequins in the sky.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I can’t wait to see what everyone creates with the new Lawn Fawn release! –Elise

Treat Yourself to a Sweet Birthday with Caly Person and the NEW Simon Says Stamp June Card Kit!
Hi friends! Happy Wednesday! Please join me in welcoming special guest Caly Person to our blog today to share a new (and gorgeous) card design she made using tons of components of our new June 2024 card kit! Read on and enjoy!
Hello! I have a fun and colorful card to share today, using products from the June 2024 Card Kit. The Sweet Birthday stamp and Sweet Birthday Single Cupcake die are a part of the kit, but if you want to complete the set with other coordinating dies (Sweet Birthday More Treats die and Sweet Birthday Words die), so be sure to add it to your cart with the kit, if you’re interested!
I also use the Birthday Wishes die and Pinkfresh Studio Picture Perfect patterned paper from the kit to make this card fun and colorful! Be sure to check out the full video below!
WATCH THE VIDEO:
I stamped and colored the Sweet Birthday images with Copic markers.
- Reds: R20, R21, R22, R24
- Oranges: YR000, YR01, YR02
- Yellows: Y00, Y11, Y17
- Greens: G40, YG06, YG09
- Blues: BG0000, BG01, BG05
- Purples: V000, V01, V04
- Pinks: R81, R83, R85
- Browns: YR30, YR21, E34
To give my background some texture, I stamped the confetti using the Distress Watercolor Pencils from the kit. I wet the tips and colored the confetti with different colors to get a variety of colors before stamping. You can see how this is done in the video.
After layering the background panels, I added the colored Sweet Birthday images and finished with the Birthday Wishes sentiment, die-cut from Holographic cardstock. There are 2 A2-sized panels of the Holographic in the kit and I was able to die-cut and make 3 Birthday Wishes sentiments. It’s so shiny and I absolutely love the lava texture!
I hope you enjoyed this card! Thank you so much for visiting today! ~Caly
